I smoke my hunting clothes from October-April and their is never a hunt or shed/scouting trip that I do not have deer come in from every direction. I don`t hunt the wind anymore, I just smoke up and hunt. I will put my faith in the use of wood smoke as the best cover scent method over any carbon suit on the market!! But then again I live in an area that 50-60% of the population still use wood for heat, including me. My wood stove burns 6-7 months out of the year and is the only heat source I have, so the deer are use to the smell of smoke. I wash my hunting clothes once a week, shower with regular scented soap and shampoo, and when I do get busted by a deer it is because of my movement not the way I smell. But to each his own method, I just do what works for me and am very successful at it.
Had a six point walk under my stand this afternoon and directly away from me, he came in down wind. Also the youth hunt I took my nephew on this weekend both our hunting clothes were covered in wood smoke, that buck came within 15 yards of our ground blind.
Some pics from the last few days behind the house on my way to my stand or out of my stand. First two pics are a 6 point and 7 point at 30-35 yards, 3rd pic 10 yards, 4th pic coyote at 25 yards, 5th pic button head at 3O yards, 6th pic cow horn spike at 45 yards, 7th pic two does at 35 yards.
